Mean Girls actress Georgina Castle was asked to leave her school as a youngster - for being too much like Regina George. Georgina, who is playing Queen of the Plastics in the West End adaptation of the cult movie, admitted her antics led her headmistress to suggest she be enrolled elsewhere. And after making the move, she came up against a new Queen Bee who has now inspired her portrayal of the iconic Mean Girl.
Speaking to the Mirror's Invite Only podcast for a Burn Book inspired Special, Georgina laughed: “I did have a Regina George streak. When I was at Primary School - I was about seven or eight - I ran the Kissy Girl Gang. I would run workout sessions for the girls, so we could be super fast and super fit to catch all the boys.
It was regimented. "And then the school did suggest that maybe I go somewhere else. They said: 'We think you might be better suited to a bigger environment,' but it was really: 'Just please get out.
' So I moved to a different school, which I loved, and I didn't cause as much trouble at that school because there was already a Regina. "I did draw Regina a bit from her - I think she will know who she is when I say that. I think people will be able to guess.
There was one group that you could pick anyone of them from and it would be relevant. But they were slightly less mean, Regina takes it to a whole new level." Former Mamma Mia! star Georgina is joined on stage by Charlie Burn who plays school newcomer turned Plastic Cady Heron.
And while she has.
